    This December marks our 15 year anniversary and we want to thank EVERYONE
    who has ever purchased a Ubiquity release. It is because of you that we are
    able to exist.

    As some of you may know, Ubiquity won the Gilles Peterson BBC Radio 1 Label
    of the Year Award for 2004. This was one of the few awards that really meant
    something to us (we could care less about a Grammy or some other lame
    industry awards ceremony) because it comes from the fans of the music we¹re
    into, the DJ¹s, the artists, and you - the record buying public.

    We have just been nominated again for 2005, and despite the fact that last
    year was good, we ALL feel the past 12 months were even better.

    By the end of 2005 we will have released music from Platinum Pied Pipers
